Turbulent Times Chapter 4: Killer Night

The dog inside whined, but did not bark. A moment later, there was a soft sound of falling to the ground inside.

With ease, Wang Junlin climbed over the wall and entered the Zhang family compound.

After falling to the ground, Wang Junlin flashed into the shadows in an instant, and instead of acting rashly, he carefully looked at the scene in the courtyard. He was located in the west courtyard of the Zhang family's mansion, where some servants lived. After a hard day's work, they had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Wang Junlin purchased what he will use for tonight during the day, and after leaving Maiji Town, he went to a place where there was no one to disguise himself and returned to the town. He inquired about some information about the Zhang family, and has already stepped on the spot here.

According to the information he inquired, the Zhang family's mansion faces south and north with east and west courtyards, and the main courtyard where Zhang's father and son live is between the east and west courtyards. The main gate of the main courtyard is guarded by guards, and there are even shift patrols at night. There were no guards patrolling the east and west courtyards, but a vicious dog instead, so he chose to sneak in from the west courtyard.

In the darkness, Wang Junlin could barely see the situation in the courtyard by the light of the stars and the moon. He groped and sneaked all the way to the small door leading to the main courtyard in the west courtyard. After he got down and listened carefully for a while, Wang Junlin couldn't help but smiled coldly. There were two guards behind the courtyard gate, but they were asleep at this moment.

When opening the courtyard door, there will be a sound. Wang Junlin still climbed over the wall to enter. He often did this kind of thing when he was a mercenary in later generations.

Ten steps away from the gate of the courtyard, Wang Junlin climbed over the wall, and saw two guards leaning against the wall to sleep.

Sneaked in quietly, the knife flashed, and there were two chi chi sounds, Wang Junlin directly cut the throats of the two of them.

The main courtyard was very quiet. Wang Junlin glanced around and soon found the main house where the master lived.

Wang Junlin half-bowed, quietly sneaked along the wing room to the main room, and met eight nurses who were dozing off while sitting or leaning on the side, and he silently touched and covered them all. Their mouths were cut and their throats were cut, and then they were gently placed in the same place and continued to lean or sit. In the dark night, from a distance, it was hard to see that they were already dead.

Wang Junlin touched the outside of the main room, squatted under the window, heard the sound of snoring inside, poked in through the crack of the door with a short knife, lightly touched the latch inside, and pushed the latch open little by little.

He didn't open the door to go in immediately, but closed his eyes and listened to the movement inside. The snoring was very even, and the sleeping person was not awakened. He was a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he came to this world Action, success is good, failure he can run away, but the whole family of Chen family will die because of him.

Fortunately, after all, this family is only a powerful family in the county, and there are no good players in the mansion. The most important thing is that their vigilance is very low. Therefore, in the deduction before Wang Junlin, if there is no major accident, the operation tonight should be able to be successfully completed.

A quarter of an hour later, the door latch was finally pushed open. Wang Junlin heaved a sigh of relief, lifted the door leaf slightly, and gently pushed the door.

Because the door leaf is lifted, the sound of opening the door is very soft, but with the decoration technology of this era, it is impossible not to make a sound.

The creaking sound of the door leaf was actually very small, but it was extremely harsh in the quiet night, which shocked Wang Junlin. Fortunately, the people in the room slept like pigs, and the grunting sound remained the same. Wang Junlin continued to gently push the door until it was just wide enough for a person, then slipped in and quietly touched the bedside in the inner room.

Seeing the scene on the bed, Wang Junlin immediately understood why the creaking sound of the door hadn't awakened the people in the room - the people on the bed obviously had exhausted themselves before going to bed and slept deeply.

There were three people on the oversized bed. On both sides were girls who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and a pair of beautiful twin sisters with their **** exposed. In the middle was a middle-aged man in his forties.

Wang Junlin lightly stepped onto the bed, quickly swung his hands, knocking out the pair of girls, and then when the middle one was about to wake up, he covered his mouth like lightning.

The man in the middle woke up, but he was suddenly pinned down in the middle of the night. He was very frightened and writhed non-stop, but under the control of Wang Junlin's iron-like hands, he had no resistance at all. After looking at this person carefully, he whispered: "You are Zhang Hongmeng's father, Zhang Qingyu."

There is no need for this person to answer, Wang Junlin already knows the answer from his expression. He took out a pitch-black pill, pinched Zhang Qingyu's mouth open, forced it into his mouth, and patted his chest to make him swallow it.

Zhang Qingyu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he had already changed from panic to fear.

Only then did Wang Junlin say: "The poison I just swallowed has no cure except for me. I let go of my hand now. If you dare to shout, I will kill you immediately before the poison takes hold." Killed."

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Junlin let go of his hand, but the dagger was still clinging to Zhang Qingyu's throat. As long as the opponent moved slightly, he would cut his throat with a knife.

"This strong man, you have something to say, don't kill me, I will satisfy you whatever you want, gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful women..." People who are used to living a comfortable life are more afraid of death, Zhang Qingyu Not to mention, his face was pale at this time, he didn't dare to move a little bit, and in order not to cause Wang Junlin's misunderstanding, he spoke in a very low voice.

Although Zhang Qingyu was quite calm, Wang Junlin was completely relieved when he acted so fearful of death. For him, killing the Zhang family father and son and rescuing Chen Xiaoliu is not difficult, but because of the conflict between him and Zhang Hongmeng during the day, he will definitely be designated as a suspect, and Han Ziliang only promises that he will not kill the Zhang family father and son. Under the premise, he will be sheltered.

So, killing some guards can deter the Zhang family and his son, but if he is killed, he will become a wanted criminal, and the whole Chen family will also die. And according to his current plan, coupled with the guarantee Han Ziliang gave him, not only could Chen Xiaoliu be rescued, but the Chen family could also be freed.

Fastly going through the plan again in his mind, Wang Junlin shouted: "Prepare me two hundred taels of gold, and then hand over the person your son Zhang Hongmeng captured in the afternoon, and I promise to spare your life."

As soon as Zhang Qingyu heard that he could survive, he quickly said: "Don't worry, the strong man, I will arrange these things immediately. Why don't the strong man give me the antidote first!"

Wang Junlin said: "Don't worry, the antidote can be detoxified as long as you take it within three days. So within these three days, you have to listen to me, let alone have other thoughts, otherwise you will die."

Zhang Qingyu had no choice but to agree, but he hated Wang Junlin so much in his heart that he secretly vowed that after he was out of Wang Junlin's control, he would definitely let the latter try his own methods, making his life worse than death.

…

…

With two hundred taels of gold in his arms, Wang Junlin took Chen Xiaoliu out of Zhang's mansion smoothly.

"You take this one hundred taels of gold, and rush back to Shetang Village as quickly as possible, and lead your family to move away from Tianshui County overnight. The farther you go, the better." Wang Junlin took out half of the gold and handed it to the village. Chen Xiaoliu said very solemnly.

Chen Xiaoliu knew what was going on, so he nodded his head indifferently. He took the gold, said take care, and ran away.

Wang Junlin smiled wryly, he could feel Chen Xiaoliu's resentment towards him. This incident was indeed provoked by myself. If I had listened to Chen Xiaoliu's suggestion and left with a dime, wouldn't it be fine. The Chen family lived a good life, but now they have to leave their hometown because of themselves, and they are also facing the Zhang family's pursuit.

With guilt in his heart, Wang Junlin did not leave Maiji Town immediately. He wanted to keep an eye on the Zhang family and ensure that the Chen family escaped from Qingshui County safely before leaving.

He couldn't guarantee that Zhang Qingyu would be obedient and obedient within these three days, because Zhang Qingyu was not poisoned at all. You must know that poisons are actually more expensive than most elixirs, let alone poisons with matching antidote.

Although Wang Junlin sold leopard skins for 50 taels, but he was dressed in nocturnal attire, a short knife and a longbow had already spent all his money, and there was no money left to buy poison.

He can prepare poison himself, but he has no time to go to the mountains to collect herbs. As for the piece of jerky that brought down the vicious dog, it was bought for a dime from a beggar in the town. The dog was not poisoned to death, but passed out. Beggars often eat dog meat with this kind of indecent method. This was what Chen Xiaoliu casually told Wang Junlin when he met a beggar when he first entered the town during the day.

…

…

"You idiot, why didn't you tell me what happened this afternoon."

Wang Junlin crawled on the roof of the living room in the inner courtyard of Zhang's house, his ears pricked up, and he remained motionless. He first heard Zhang Qingyu's roar, then a scream, and then a crisp cracking sound came into his ears.

At this moment, out of the corner of Wang Junlin's eye, he saw someone hastily entered the living room.

"Patriarch Qi, the person sent out before had died outside the town. By the time Beizhi arrived at Shetang Village in person, the Chen family had already moved out overnight, and no one else in the village knew where the Chen family was going. They sent out ten horses to search around. Unexpectedly, one of the eleven war horses kept in the mansion was stolen, and the rest were killed by the thief. In addition, I have already found out that the traitor is Wang Junlin, who came to Shetang Village the evening before yesterday. , apart from the Chen family, there are no relatives or reasons."

The room was quiet for a while, and Wang Junlin heard Zhang Qingyu say: "Take my invitation and go out through the side door to find the county lord, and ask him to issue an announcement to designate that Wang Junlin dog thief and the members of the Chen family as murderers." , and sent Yamen servants to hunt them down."

Someone respectfully said yes, Wang Junlin saw a person leave the living room in the dark, and left the Zhang residence overnight.

"Send twenty famous family members out, no matter how much money you spend, or what method you use, I will invite all the famous doctors in Tianshui County."

Hearing Zhang Qingyu's words, Wang Junlin realized that it wasn't that the poison didn't scare Zhang Qingyu, but that the latter didn't believe that he would detoxify him at all, so he wanted to catch the Chen family in exchange for the antidote.

Wang Junlin saw a group of people rushing out of the living room and hurriedly left Zhang's mansion with lanterns on their hands.

Not long after, Wang Junlin heard Zhang Qingyu suddenly shouted again: "A person who can hunt and kill adult leopards alone is not easy to provoke."
